FAUCET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 576,068, dated January 26, 1897.

I Application filed September 23, 1895. Serial No. 563,292. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PATRICK K. OLALLY,

' of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucets, of which the following is a specification.

. This invention has for its object to provide a faucet adapted to be opened through the agency of a tumbler or other receptacle presented to the faucet to receive liquid therefrom; and it consists in the improvements which I will now proceed to describe and claim. 7

Of the accompanying drawings, forming 'a art of this s ecification Fi ure 1 re resents p the faucet, the same having an internal valveseat a and a substantially vertical outletnozzle '03, the valve-seat being at the upper end of said nozzle.

I) represents a valve which is adapted to close downwardly: by gravitation upon the seat a and is also held against said seat by pressure of the liquid in the casing 64.;

,0 represents a valve-lifting rod, one'end of which is engagedwith'the valve, preferably by being inserted in an orifice 1), formed inthe stem b? of the valve, said rod extending downwardly from the valve and bent laterally tumbler or other vessel while said vessel is held under the nozzlein position to receive the liquid discharged therefrom.

portion 0 outside of the nozzle,'said vertical portion passing through an eye or guide a The arm 0' is preferably; bent upwardly to form a vertical formed 011 one side of the nozzle a3. hen

the valve is seated, the arm 0 bears upon the upper edge of the guide a and is retained in place .by the latter, the rod 0 being preferably loosely connected with the valve, so that the valve can be readily separated from it and removed from the casing.

a represents a stop or shoulder formed upon the exterior of the nozzle a at one side of and above the guide a said shoulder being formed to engage the arm 0 and support the rod 0 in its valve-raisingposition (shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2) when the arm is swung laterally to the position shown in Fig. 5, the arm being thus caused to rest upon the stop a and thus hold the valve raised, so that the liquid will flow as long as may be desired. The valve may be closed by simply turning the arm 0" to the position shown in Fig. 4, causing it. to drop off from the stop a.

It will be seen that the downward projection of the rod 0 from the valve and the lateral arm at the lower portion of the rod cbnstitute a valve-opening device which is at once simple and inexpensive and does not require the formation of an opening in the nozzle a through which liquid willbe likely to escapewhile thevalve is open.

I claim- Afaucet comprising a casing having a valveseat, a delivery-nozzle extending downwardly from the said valve-seat, a valve arranged to bear downwardly on said seat, a valve-openingrod loosely engaged with the valve and extending downwardly therefrom and thence PATRICK K OLAL-LY.
